She is currently working part-time.
Dr. Appleman’s special interests in Internal Medicine include endocrinology and hematology. Prior research projects have explored the use of Trilostane in dogs with Cushing’s disease, association between cobalamin deficiencies and anemia in dogs, and the feasibility of platelet cryopreservation and plateletpheresis in dogs.
Dr. Appleman lives on the Upper East Side with her human family and a silly kitten named Silver. She is also looking out for her next rescue Corgi, as she is particularly fond of this breed and all similarly built dogs!
